Description: We are Olde Kennebec Wood Cookery, a Barbecue joint and Catering service, serving the best in Real, Slow, Food. Stop by for lunch or pick up dinner. We are located atop Witch Spring Hill, by Coffin's Garage. Remember us for your next catering event, whether it's lunch for the office, a fundraiser or your wedding! Call us today to find out what's for lunch or to begin planning your event.

We wanted some bbq, but didn't feel like taking the time to wait to be seated, etc. at Beal St., so we decided to pop over to OKWC - We both got the brisket plate; it fit the bill. The portions aren't generous, but it was very tasty. It would be nice if they were open more days of the week in the summer. They don't serve beer, but if you decide to eat at one of the picnic benches, you can BYOB.

Had the brisket and beans as well as took a whole smoked chicken home. It was the best brisket Ive ever had. Tender as could be with an amazing taste. Said to be slow cooked for 13-16 hours...worth it. The beans were a special recipe that seemed like a rip off for the price to portion, but then we actually ate them we realized the price was worth it. The chicken later fed 3 of us easily and was also worth it. Highly recommended to anyone in the area!

I purchased a rack of ribs. Had to order in advance because apparently they are so popular. The rack I received was tiny, only enough for one person. The price: $25! Yow! Got home and served very small portions and the flavor was just OK, certainly not twenty-five dollars worth of taste.

We're glad to see Olde Kennebec back after missing them for a year or so. Their brisket is the only thing we have ever ordered. Though their other menu items are tempting, their brisket is THAT good!Our one comment about the new Olde Kennebec is that by comparison, the new brisket needs to be trimmed of some of the fat after cooking, as the former pitmaster Mark uzed to do. Otherwise the flavor is excellent and the brisket meltingly tender.
